- Welcome to Cython!
- ==================
- Cython is a language that makes writing C extensions for
- Python as easy as Python itself. Cython is based on
- Pyrex, but supports more cutting edge functionality and
- optimizations.
- The Cython language is very close to the Python language, but Cython
- additionally supports calling C functions and declaring C types on variables
- and class attributes. This allows the compiler to generate very efficient C
- code from Cython code.
- This makes Cython the ideal language for wrapping external C libraries, and
- for fast C modules that speed up the execution of Python code.
